I am fan of House Stark, but comment of Barba Bolton was simply awesome. All of the maidens were trying to win over the King. Barbra was just like: Look, if you are gonna send me away, at least give me some food because winter is here.
Epic.
What I like is that it shows not every Bolton was a psychopathic bad guy and there were just some chill normal Bolton’s.

Subscribed.
The boltons are pretty much a darker version of the Starks
The Starks act as freedom fighters while the Boltons act as rebellious traitors
I would argue that it was the Boltons who acted as Freedom fighters against Stark imperialists trying to take their lands
@@wayne47able Weren't the Starks around for hundreds, if not thousands of years before the Bolton house?
Much like any human history, land was always occupied by someone else, I just thought the Car-Starks and Starks were the oldest in the north.
@rakuencallisto Both Houses existed at the Same time and ruled separate regions of the North. The Stark King's of Winter expanded into Bolton territory and got flayed for it in some instances but the Starks eventually defeated them and made them submit. But both houses are natives to the north as far as the lore goes
@@rakuencallisto Karstarks are most certainty not the oldest, they're just an offshoot branch of starks that became their own family. Boltons were there in the age of heros (before andals arrived in westeros) which make its really difficult to determine when any of those houses came to existence, as that era is semi mythological
The Bolton's existence and prevalence as a House is just a reflection of how brutal Westeros is and has been historically. Especially the North.
I really wish the Boltons had a Valyrian steel sword bc you know not only would it look cool AF but it would also have the most metal name of any Valyrian steel sword! Something like -
Virgin Slaughter
Bloody Glory
Red death
Hand of Dread
Dread Blade or something like that
I always wanted the Boltons to have a Valyrian steel sword as well. I like some of your sword names too. I thought of…
Blood Feaster/Blood Drinker
Pain Deliverance
Spine Splitter
Sinew Slicer
Wraith’s Wrath
Flesh Taster/Flesh Feaster
Flesh Sunder
Winter’s Bite
Blood Baron
Dread Knife (it could be a two hand knife like a Kreig Messer/Grosse Messer)
In my head cannon the Boltons have a Valyrian steel knife/knives they use for flaying and or blood magic, and possibly the cat’s paw was sent by the Boltons to kill Bran Stark because a dead Stark is a good Stark.
They have a Valyrian steel *flaying knife* sadly Martin never released the name
Wolfs bane
Yeah. It would definitely be a skinning Knife and would almost certainly by Wolf Bane or something along those lines.
Always loved the Bolton's since I first read about there flayed man house sigil
The Starks are insanely over hyped. House Bolton is my favorite house, they have the cunning of the Lannisters, pragmatism of Dorne, and the battle-courage of the Baratheons. They're also the only major Northern/First men House that isn't fawned over by normies.
THE FLAYED MAN IS ON OUR BANNERS!!! MY BANNERS, NOT YOURS.
house bolton has always been one of my favourite asoiaf houses, i have their banner hanging on my bedroom door (:
I find it a more interesting banner than most in asoiaf, just looking at it you 100% get what the house is about. Definitely one of my favourites
whoa dude
I have their banner tattooed on my chest :D
@@WorldOfWesteros if you look closely, it is the only banner in the series which is similar to the current British flag
So many questions about why a flayed man is on your bedroom door
How have you only got 750 subscribers???? You’re videos are so good and are really well made you deserve way more and I’m sure you will !!
things have really been picking up the last few weeks, i'm just glad people are enjoying the videos and want to spend there time watching them. Thanks for the support, i'm glad you enjoy them
Anyone getting a Vampire vs Werewolf vibe when it comes to these two Houses?
Can you make a video about Ramsay bolton
Sure thing, will put it on my list
And what if the Boltons aren't as savage as the history says. Remember history is written by the victor so what if the stories are pro stark propaganda which in turn influences further generations of Boltons meaning that the starks partially created their modern day enemies
I do quite like this idea to be honest and i do think it is very possible that the boltons reputation got blown up thanks to the way the Starks talked about them
I don't think so their banner is what it is for a reason
The Starks should have wiped out the Boltons, root and stem, a long time ago.
it would be really interesting if the night’s king was a bolton given the repeated descriptions of roose’s strangely pale eyes, and it would also parallel the theory that the starks have distant cotf blood (hence their abilities)
The role of the nights king really does seem to fit a Bolton more than anyone else, and I think the way Roose looks does maybe hint at that. If the starks do have cotf blood it would help give more reason to the rivalry with the Bolton’s for thousands of years, more so if the Bolton’s are somehow linked for he nights king
This is the what the Blackfyres would have been to the Targs if not for Bloodraven.
I kinda like that idea, would have been interesting to see play out. I always felt that the blackfyre not being in the main book was a shame. Unless fAegon turns out to be true that is. I've always wondered how a Blackfyre dynasty would have played out if they won. Would it have been a brief moment or last 300 years.
Really, it's the best video I've ever heard about the Boltons. It's my favorite family in the novel. They did the right thing by being ruthless because the world of ice and fire is a cruel world. I am from Egypt and I enjoyed the video Greetings to you
Glad you enjoyed it, the world book did a really good job a expanding the lore for house bolton, and gave a lot context for the rivalry with the starks.
@@WorldOfWesteros
What do you think of the Boltons?
Tywin is a better example of ruthlessness done right imo. A lot of Bolton practice can be attributed to reckless and indulgent cruelty.
I think the starks and boltons are a great demonstration of how fear and cruelty aren't a match for honor and fairness. When you stab people in the back yo unever know who you can trust.
i recently discovered your channel and i love your videos the imagery you use in your videos adds so much more the topics you discuss i have to say i love your videos keep up the goodwork man
there is so much official art and fan art out there, i think i just wanted to make the idea of lore a bit more dynamic. The map i made has been a huge help when it comes to locations that don't have any art. I'm glad your liking the videos, thanks for the support.
Look I don’t know what to put today on the comment I’ve got headache but good video good friend
Friend? Friend? Football Friend.
Sadly the betrayal of Lord Bolton was not so obvious. Boltons had been loyal to the Starks for, at least, 300 years. Both houses have fought together in almost all conflicts during the Targaryen era. Of course, Bolton and Stark were rivals before the conquest but the last Bolton king bent the knee like 1000 years ago. Lord Bolton fought with Ned during the rebellion.
I can’t quite describe why but I’m very interested in the Boltons but I don’t actually like their house. Maybe it’s just my morbid curiosity.
Naked man has few secrets, a flayed man none.
Our blades are sharp
Bolton represent the true north rather than the idealistic north that Ned and his children represents, and the Boltons sum why the south views the northerners as savages (and why they are right)
The boltons are the exception not the norm. I don’t know where your getting your information from
@@Zanigga-de2ks guys are the northerners without the southern influence, so, the First night right(peak first man jurisdiction), the traditional sacrifices, the warmonger culture, and the northerners around the Bolton are allingned with them(karstarks and umbers) being as savage as the Bolton
@@matztz_4560 only in the latest generation of starks do they act more like northerners due to ned, and that doesn’t mean they represent the true north, they represent the old north will old rules they still cling to. Overall there’s a lot of assumptions that the starks of other generations wasn’t more like other northerners. You simply named 2 houses that are breaking the law. I don’t see the hype
@@Zanigga-de2ks the actual starks in the books is an example of the southern moral superiority towards the north, and the malus that this has (the complete political dissipation of house stark), besides what law is the old north breaking? The Targaryen jurisdiction? The Bolton despise the Lannister rule as much as they despised the stark rule, basically all northern house is a mirror of the Bolton, just less explicit in their cruelty, the glovers, the Dustin, the less evil are the manderly and the reeds although they are as cunning as the average southerner noble, the old starks were as bad as the Bolton, when they changed, their rule collapsed, the northern society is built in cruelty and savagery
@@matztz_4560 The North is not monolithic, and reducing it to the brutality of the Boltons is a mischaracterization.House Stark has maintained peace and stability in the North for generations through their principles of honor, justice, and responsibility. This stability contrasts sharply with the fear and chaos that characterize Bolton rule. The Boltons’ cruelty is an outlier rather than the norm, and the Starks’ long-standing leadership demonstrates that their values are deeply embedded in northern culture.Furthermore, the perception of northern savagery by the South often stems from cultural misunderstandings and biases rather than reality. The North’s harsh environment necessitates a different way of life, but this does not equate to inherent brutality. The Starks’ actions, such as rallying the northern houses against the White Walkers, show a capacity for unity and respect that transcends simple savagery.Additionally, the idea of southern moral superiority is flawed. The South has its own share of cruelty and political intrigue, as evidenced by houses like the Lannisters and the Freys. The Starks’ honor often exposes the moral shortcomings of these southern houses, challenging the notion that southern values are inherently superior.
As a Stark fan I can say one thing screw the Boltons. But I do feel as Roose said the high road is pretty but you’ll have a hard time marching your army down that road. All true word and Robb should of let Roose and Boltons handle the prisoners hell your at war if you can’t do the ugly things let someone else do and the Boltons are the perfect house for it.
My favourite house in all of Westeros
Well presented
